Please welcome new Chasing 23 Contributor Daniel Douglas.
Basketball , once stripped of its gaudy jerseys, mainstream hip-hop songs leading into and out of televised games, grating arena announcers, even more grating commentators and mildly sauced local celebrities made up and Vera Wang’d out at courtside, is a game of individual domination.
